Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi revealed that Kenyans are being recruited into the Russian military through clandestine routes, often via the Middle East, making them difficult for the government to track.

• Mudavadi confirmed 47 Kenyans have been repatriated, while 16 are missing in action and two are prisoners of war.
• The Prime Cabinet Secretary highlighted that recruitment often occurs after Kenyans have secured jobs in the Middle East.
• The government has arrested two suspects linked to a fake recruitment firm, and negotiations with Russian authorities aim to halt this practice.
